This month on the farm
Rather than treating every animal as routine, we send dung samples to be checked for worm eggs and only treat when it’s needed. That keeps the medicines working for longer.
We feel along each animal’s back and ribs to check it’s not too thin or too fat: a quick way to see the feeding is right.
In warm, muggy weather, flies can lay eggs in dirty wool. We check the sheep often and keep them clean.
Just like children, our animals have vaccinations to protect them from common diseases.

Farming explained
Every sheep, goat, pig and cow is identified, so we know where every animal has been. It keeps food safe and stops disease spreading.
Hens need long days to lay well, and they lay most in their first couple of years. Here’s how a hen’s laying changes through the year and through her life.
It all starts in the autumn, and it’s timed so the ewes have the best grass when they need it most.
